Homelessness and Rental Assistance Support for 2023.

This act makes it easier to use funds for homelessness prevention and emergency rental assistance in 2023. This means local communities will have more flexibility to provide financial support for these purposes, potentially helping individuals and families facing housing insecurity. Additionally, certain emergency payments will not be counted as income, which may ease access to aid.
Key points
The spending cap for public services related to homelessness and emergency rental assistance is waived for fiscal year 2023.
Emergency grant payments for up to 6 consecutive months will not be considered income, potentially making it easier to qualify for assistance.
Local communities will have greater flexibility in using funds for housing support.
